Jan 13 we got up and had breakfast. It was simple but filling. We took the bus to the ship at 10. We checked in very quickly and went to the bar. I had purchased the premium liquor package on line so we started drinking to break the boat. The servers are very friendly.

We got our room 6090 at 12:46. We are disappointed. The room is small and cheaply appointed. We are learning that we need to book a one bedroom suite. Our room steward is precious. The ship was built in 1995. It holds 2100 guests but only 1800 are on board. There is about 700 staff.

Mom and dad arrived about 2:30. We went to lunch at the buffet. Our luggage arrived about 3:30. We had our fire drill at 4:00 and the ship took off about 4:30. Mom and dad’s room is decorated and they got their anniversary cake. Daddy sure likes ice cream...plain out vanilla...lol He must have eaten four Ice cream cones. We bought an internet package $99 for 208 minutes. The service is decent but the minute’s sure tick by quickly.
We had dinner at 6:15. The service was so slow and the food mediocre. We left dinner at 8:30. We got our picture taken. When we got back to the room Mom and dad's luggage had arrived. We said goodnight. I did not sleep well. Green
